Great quality hats, sizes vary, so find your fit!!!
Great hat too! the only hat I like more is my other salt mafia Deep hat I bought with same purchase! Love the quality and 7 flat look! Please make a 7flat patches in an army green and white color ! I’d love to purchase it! Thanks Salt Mafia… and I wore it during golf and no sweat stains just as promised! Great product I highly recommend!
These are awesome Iove how they fit and great material. Awesome breathable material and great fitment for people with larger heads. Night 3 more and will buy more now
I wanted to exchange my order because the 2 hats that I bought are too small. I was told sorry about your luck the sale is final. After spending hundreds of dollars with this company I'll never spend another dime.
When I received the hat it was too small. I contacted Salt Mafia to ask for an exchange ( not a refund ). I was told sorry about your luck the sale was final. I've spent hundreds with this company and will never spend another dime.
Freakn AMAZING!!! Both in and out of the water !!!. So many people asking me where i got this and im telling em …SALT MAFIA!!!.
Definitely gonna grab more!!! The feel and texture …TOP NOTCH !!! Don’t sleep on these !!!
I kept seeing advertisements on instagram for Salt Mafia and they looked like quality hats so I decided to try them out. I have 2 hats so far and love them both! Great around the water and for daily use.
This is the third Salt Mafia hat that I've purchased. I love the quality and that they have large sizes. I will say that the material with the hat designs is different. The Flexwave Red was noticably softer than the Flexwave Marsh I just received against my shaved head. The material is actually different. The Red is closer to a lycra material where the Marsh is closer to canvas. Now those aren't the actual materials just what they feel like
Got the laser-less hammer for my son and it looks great on him. The orange and blue combo looks great without being over the top. Fit is good and he actually likes wearing it
The Flexwave fit just isn't as good as the snapback, no adjustable snaps means the fitment is a bit off compared to what I'm used to. I still prefer the original snapback style over this stretch fit version.
Love the hat! I have had the hat in the pool, lake, and salt with no staining or smell. I will purchase more if this item no just for myself but as gifts.
The Seamless Tux gives off a super sleek, formal vibe with its seamless design and contrast details. The 7-panel flat brim fits comfortably and maintains a crisp, structured look all day. Even with the dressed-up style, it repels water and sweat instantly, so it stays spotless on or off the water. It also cleans easily and never loses its shape.
The Wash is a clean white color that looks crisp in person and goes with pretty much every outfit. The 7-panel flat brim gives it a sharp, structured fit that doesn't collapse over time. Even though it's bright white, the waterproof fabric repels dirt and sweat so it stays looking brand new.
